Rangers are set to fly out to Spain for some warm-weather training as a part of their preparations for the 2026/27 season.
Derek McInnes is getting to know his players better and oversaw a 5-1 win against Raith Rovers in a pre-season friendly over the past few weeks.
New signings Dan Neil and Ross McCrorie had a chance to show why they’ve been signed, while certain fringe players were given the opportunity to prove why they deserve to be retained, with some of them likely on the chopping block.

As things stand, it is unclear as to which teams the Light Blues will be facing in Spain.
However, it is understood that they will be taking on St Etienne at Ibrox when they are back in Glasgow ahead of the new season.
What Derek McInnes plans to get from his pre-season training camp?
McInnes will be aware, having watched Rangers as a rival manager for years, what their strengths and weaknesses are.
He not only understands the league perfectly, but he also knows what it means to be at Ibrox and the expectations that come with it.
The 55-year-old will likely be working on a lot of individual drills with players and also assessing his squad in intra-squad games on the training ground to see who best fits his system.
There will be certain players who do not, and he will be in talks with the board to get them out the door as soon as possible.
A number of players are still to report for pre-season as they have been given time off following the World Cup, so that could delay certain decisions McInnes makes this summer.
